IKIGAI

Ikigai is a Japanese concept that translates to "reason for being." It represents the intersection of four core elements: What you love (Passion): Activities that bring you joy and fulfillment. What you are good at (Vocation): Skills and talents that you excel in. What the world needs (Mission): Things that contribute to the betterment of society. What you can be paid for (Profession): Work that provides financial stability. When these four elements overlap, you find your ikigai—a meaningful and purposeful life that combines passion, skill, contribution to the world, and financial reward. The pursuit of ikigai leads to fulfillment, happiness, and a sense of purpose.
